Ryoga Sarah : Moral Lessons In Habiburrahaman El Shirazy’s Novel Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, 2009. I INTRODUCTION
3.1 Background of study
Literature is writing which expresses and communicates thought, feeling and
attitude towards life. Literature is a permanent expression in word of some though or
feeling or idea. Literature can only come alive through the creative imagination;
without this all the technical skill in the word is useless. Literature may be good and
bad or indifferent ; but good literature will have some, if not all off the following
qualities;(i)psychological truth or holding the mirror up to nature; (ii)originality;
(iii)craftsmanship; and (iii)a consciousness of moral value (Rees1993; 9), t has
generally been thought that there is some sense in which literature should hold the
mirror up to nature it should be “life-enhancing” or a criticism of life. This mean I
think, that we expect a writer, whether he be a poet, novelist or dramatist, to passion
to us some feeling or idea which we at once recognize as being, either actually or
potentially, a part of our experience.
Novel is one kinds of literature; it’s the vicious present narrative portraying
characters and presenting an organized series of events of settings. Every novel is
account of life; involves conflict, characters and plot, setting and theme. There are
many reasons why people feel excited in reading novel. One of them is moral aspect.

Ryoga Sarah : Moral Lessons In Habiburrahaman El Shirazy’s Novel Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, 2009. 2. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MORAL LESSON.
Generally, moral suggest in the meaning (teaching of) goodness and evil
which are received by people. It is about action, attitude, responsibility, moral, good
conduct and ethnic. But the meaning of goodness and evil are relative in certain
things. The opinion of someone about moral and values are usually influenced by
their way of live.
In literary works, moral usually reflects the writer’s view of life which he
wants to reach to the reader. Moral in a story, based on Kenny (1966: 890, meant as a
suggestion which practically concern with certain moral teaching which can be taken
(and explained) through the story that involves the reader. Fiction contains moral
installment on attitude and behavior of characters which is suitable with idea of the
writer on moral that can be seen as a message. Actually, this message is a concept on
literary works created as supporting message.
2.1 Definition of Moral Lessons and it’s applying in the Fiction.
Moral actually is the element of content, It is something which the writer
wants to tell to the reader, that’s meaning contained in a work, the meaning which is
suggested through a story. Moral can be seen as the one of existence of theme in a
simple form, but not all the theme is moral (Kenny, 1966: 89).
In a fiction, novel for example, there are usually more than one message
Ryoga Sarah : Moral Lessons In Habiburrahaman El Shirazy’s Novel Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, 2009.
Moral lessons cover the problem which can be said as naturally unstitched. It
covers all questions of lives, relatives to dignity and values of man. By main point,
the problem of lives human- being can be differentiated into the conflicts between
man and himself, man and man in social veil included environment and between man
and good.
A novel contains and offers one, two or three of moral lessons. A conflict
between man and himself, for example, related with the problems such as the self
existence, self respect, self confident, fear, dead, desire, revenge, loneliness, drifter
among choices and the problem which involves more into self and his spirituality. It
is expected that the reader can find and understand the messages, and finally get
wisdom.
Many religious messages which exist as religious morality and social critics
also can be found in a fiction. Since there is a lot of life’s problem which is not
suitable with expectation of write, and then they offer something expected.
The message of religious presence in religious aspect and religion in literature
are as old as it’s existence, and even it rises from something naturally religious
(Mangunwijaya, 1982 : 11). The nature of religious is to handle deeper and wider
than a visible and formal religion, (Mangunwijaya, 1982: 11-12). It sees the aspect
deep in heart, vibration of one deepest heart, and totally of deepest personality of
man. A religious man tries to understand and bewitch life more by then just look of.
Ryoga Sarah : Moral Lessons In Habiburrahaman El Shirazy’s Novel Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, 2009.
natures humanity, deepest heart dignity and values, and the personal freedom owned
by man.
Almost all Indonesian novel since their beginning of rising to this present time
contains element of social critics although they have difference level of intensity. The
existence of life which criticized can be kinds as veil of social life it self. Social
critics can be influence the actualization of works.
Literature which contains of critical messages can be said as critical literature
and will usually rise if something evil happened in social and people, such as
corruption problem and many deviation of our government, bad condition of
morality, and careless parents to their children. The writer does not keep in silence
and will fight for things he believes in through the writer.
2.2 The Methods to Reach Moral Messages.
As one of the work of art form, a literary work is also seen as a
communication tool which have esthetic elements and especially in reaching the
moral messages. Generally, we can reach the moral message in fiction using direct or
indirect methods. Both of them are a manifestation of writer’s conviction to have
dialog that tells something.
2.2.1 Direct Methods.
Direct methods in reaching moral messages is identical with the or taught to
Ryoga Sarah : Moral Lessons In Habiburrahaman El Shirazy’s Novel Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, 2009.
of character’s mind. Moral this is to be reached to teach the reader, tells advice and
admonition
Based on Nurgiantoro (Teori Pengkajian Fiksi, 1995 : 213) the methods of direct
reaching is communicative, where the reader can understand and explain what is
meant in an easy way. Communication between writer (addresser) and reader
(addressee) in reaching message is direct. It is happened in two lines as seen below.
Writer Message Reader
Message Message
Ryoga Sarah : Moral Lessons In Habiburrahaman El Shirazy’s Novel Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, 2009.
Fiction which contains of moral message in direct method usually seen in
early Indonesian novel, it is instructed by the government at time, that the story books
must give education of good conduct to the reader.
2.2.2 Indirect Method
Based on Nurgiyantoro (1995: 214) about indirect method, the moral message is
only passed, mix coherency with another story element. Writer does not tell the
message directly. The story firstly made to console and the message contain within
is only passed. The reader has the right to explain it by his version.
The relation between writer and reader indirect. The proportion whether the
meaning is hidden or reached by reader is used to judge the result of a work as an
art. It can be seen below.

4. A BRIEF STUDY OF MORAL LESSONS IN KETIKA CINTA
BERTASBIH
Moral is the something essential in a fiction. The meaning of Moral lesson can
be seen in the quotation (Stanton, 1997; 112)
Moral is the meaning (teaching of) goodness and evil contained in a work
which the writer wants to tell to the reader it is suggested through story. It is also
scoops all the question of lives and life related to dignity and values of man.
Moral can be seen as one existence of theme in a simple form, but not all of the theme
is moral.
There are many messages of lives we get after reading the whole story in
Ketika Cinta Bertasbih. They are about action, attitude, responsibility, moral, good
conduct, and ethnic in order that they enrich a whole story with meaning or moral
lessons.
Actually, the novel of Ketika Cinta Bertasbih is presented to express the
meaning of lives which seems hard to be understood, at first, but in fact, they become
simpler if the people want to be open-minded. It is firstly wondered about many
things told in the novel, but after that, its freshness and honestly will be seen as a
description of live realities. It is also the journey of intellectual which plays in
Ryoga Sarah : Moral Lessons In Habiburrahaman El Shirazy’s Novel Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, 2009.
the reader will have a new perception within their beingness (quoted ) from expert’s
comment by Jakolo Sumardjo) some moral lessons that exist in the novel, are
4.1 Responsibility of a man to his family.
Azzam’s family had a financial problem. Since his father die as a son Azzam
must responsibility of his family. For that he sells meatball and Tempe. The money
from sells meatball and Tempe he send to his village, Azzam keep trying and don’t
want to hopeless, finally Azzam’s sister being a writer and psychology.
“I present this cup for my brother. He is my hero that working hard to paid my college when our father dies. My brother working hard to sell meatball and Tempe in Cairo for his loving sisters. For my brother who’s just arrived in Indonesia after 9 year can’t come back to Indonesia for his struggle for our fate, I present this cup.” ( El Shirazy, 2007:130)
“Piala ini aku hadiahkan yang pertama untuk kakakku. Dialah pahlawanku yang mati-matian membiayai hidup dan kuliahku. Ketika ayah telah tiada kakaaku yang membanting tulang dengan jualan tempe dan bakso di Kairo demi adik-adik yang dicintainya. Untuk kakaku yang baru tiba di Indonesia setelah 9 tahun lamanya tidak bisa pulang ke Indonesia demi memperjuangkan nasib adik-adiknya, aku hadiahkan penghargaan ini.” ( El Shirazy, 2007:130)
From the great full Ayatul Husna qoutation above, the moral that we can take
is responsibility for family. As a son is generation to their family, more over son has a
great responsibility when their father died. Sense of love and responsibilities Azzam
Ryoga Sarah : Moral Lessons In Habiburrahaman El Shirazy’s Novel Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, 2009.

make his meatball famous. Finally Azzam find an idea to make meatball in heart
shape that called Bakso Cinta. But, many trial when Azzam start his business, people
assume “for what he college for 9 year in Cairo but in Indonesia he just be an
meatball seller”. Azzam not hopeless, he try to increase the quality of his meatball
shop in order that the people not trifling with him, because many of his neighbor that
be the worker in his meatball shop. Not only that, Azzam’s meatball shop issued use
borax and formalin, until no one eats in his meatball, but Azzam never give up, he
think how to get his shop’s good name. He asks for confirmation from health
Department also from Indonesian Council of Religious Scholars.
“Kita tunjukkan profesionalitas kita, orang yang suka memfitnah dalam bisnis biasanya adalah orang yang tidak profesional, kita harus lebih maju dan lebih canggih sehingga fitnahnya tidak berpengaruh.”
( El Shirazy, 2007:372)
“We show our professionalism, people that usually like to slender in a business is unprofessional people. We could keep forward and sophisticated so that slender was not influenced” ( El Shirazy, 2007:372)
With the amazing strength, he wake from his sadness, actually hopeless

wants to know with “hopeless”. Finally his business get fast back and more advanced
and growth to another business.
“Please said to Azzam, carefully and ready to across the bad weather, the weather is not long good and quiet, sometimes the blue sky is going to rain, even thought it might be a storm, in of course in business.” ( El Shirazy, 2007:286)
“Tolong sampaikan pada Azzam agar bersiap-siap menghadapi cuaca buruk, cuaca tidak selamanya baik dan tenang ada kalanya langit yang cerah tiba-tiba berawan lalu mendung bahkan bisa juga berbadai, demikian juga dalam bisnis” ( El Shirazy, 2007:286)
Never give up attitude (behavior) and survive in a live make us more going to

the woman that Furqon loves, he must divorce Anna in order that Anna not infected.
“You are so bad! You are lie to me and to whole of my family, even you lie to other people that attend to our marriage contract.” ( El Shirazy, 2007:311)
“kau sangat jahat! kau begitu tega mendustaiku dan mendustai seluruh keluargaku, bahkan kau mendustai seluruh orang yang hadir saat akad nikah kita” ( El Shirazy, 2007:311)
